I live in Ireland with my wife who happens to be British (I&#x27;m Irish) she and noticed that on occasion when she took a taxi, upon hearing her accent, cab drivers would take her the &quot;scenic route&quot;, i.e. the long way around to her destination thinking she was from out of town.<p>So I thought it would be useful to have an app that calculates your fare in realtime based based on the local taxi tariffs and plots your route for you as you go. It would serve to remove the ambiguity of whether or not you were being charged the right fare and show whether or not you were being taking the most direct route.<p>I&#x27;ve got a few tokens for anyone that wants to try it out:<p><a href="http://tokn.co/wa69ybv2" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tokn.co&#x2F;wa69ybv2</a> <a href="http://tokn.co/j7tb9cd9" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tokn.co&#x2F;j7tb9cd9</a> <a href="http://tokn.co/c4yha3sc" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tokn.co&#x2F;c4yha3sc</a> <a href="http://tokn.co/amh5chnw" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tokn.co&#x2F;amh5chnw</a> <a href="http://tokn.co/sxgdp2cx" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tokn.co&#x2F;sxgdp2cx</a>

I almost built something like this (but to help groups of people take taxis). It would be nice if you added a way to create a multi-drop itinerary, as well as a bill-split feature for groups.
